- a paradoxal increased risk of seroconversion proportional to condom use
- Posted by PaulKing
The few statistics illustrating the effect of condoms use on HIV
transmission in
homosexual acts do not give clear cut results.
R.Detels (1989)lxxxix observed a 2.9% drop in seroconversion when condoms
were used in homosexual intercourse, in a cohort of 2915 active
homosexuals initally
HIV sero-negative. But, in that statistic, the number of partners for each
member of the
cohort was almost as important a factor as the use or not of a condom.
L.Levin et al. (1995)xc found that most (71%) of the 140 active-duty young
men
with documented sero-conversion who were identified in various US army
installations
did use a condom during their homosexual or heterosexual relations.
Results seemed to indicate a paradoxal increased risk of seroconversion
proportional to condom use in
this series.

Well that looks good. I wonder what the original citation was?? What's
all that xxxix stuff?
Reducing the number of partners may also reduce the risk of acquiring
HIV or other STDs.
And of course these authors clearly do not dispute that the purpose of
using condoms is precisely that and specifically to prevent HIV
infections.

The authors clearly state that their stuy proved condoms INCREASED 'AIDS'.
Try to distort that Carter.
